The abandoned concubine is charming and charming, and the sickly prince breaks his waist

Seeing this, the Crown Prince, Xiao Yunxiao, and Xiao Yunyang knelt down and said, "Father, calm down."

Even though they didn't like Chu Hengzhi, they still had to do things to save face.

Chu Hengzhi was already very weak because of the Tongxin Gu incident, and now Emperor Wu Ren had kicked him with all his strength.

He fell directly to the ground and was unable to get up for a long time, with blood still oozing from the corners of his mouth.

But he ignored the blood at the corner of his mouth. Instead, he knelt up again and put his head on the back of his hands.

"I have never committed regicide or my father's murder. I beg Your Majesty to investigate and clear my name."

"Innocent?" Emperor Wu Ren looked at him expressionlessly: "You should know where the tattoos on the assassin's body came from. How dare you say innocent?"

Hearing his emotionless words, Chu Hengzhi tightened his hands in his sleeves and looked up to meet Emperor Wu Ren's eyes.

"Father, I do know the tattoo on the assassin's body. But, Father, you ordered the Crown Prince to kill the Mu family army. If those two are really the remnants of the Mu family army, shouldn't you ask the Crown Prince?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the prince's face changed. He was about to say something, but before he could finish his words, Emperor Wu Ren kicked Chu Hengzhi to the ground again.

"You rebellious son, now you want to drag the prince into this."

Chu Hengzhi couldn't hold it in any longer this time and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. At the same time, a piece of concentric jade fell out of his arms.

When he saw the concentric jade, Emperor Wu Ren's expression changed and his hands tightened unconsciously in his sleeves.

The Crown Prince, Chu Yunxiao, and Chu Yunyang saw that Emperor Wu Ren was angry again, and they put their heads on the back of their hands and said in unison: "Father, calm down."

Although they said so, the Crown Prince, Chu Yunxiao, and Chu Yunyang couldn't help but smile.

If nothing unexpected happens, Chu Hengzhi will have to leave the palace sideways today.

But Chu Hengzhi ignored the pain in his body, reached out to pick up the concentric jade, and carefully put it in his arms.

Then he reached out to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, knelt straight again and said, "Father, if you believe that the assassin is my son's man just based on the tattoo, I will never admit it even if I die."

Emperor Wu Ren didn't say anything. He just looked at Chu Hengzhi, not knowing what he was thinking.

The prince hesitated for a moment and said, "Father, I also think it is a bit hasty to suspect Fourth Brother based on this alone."

"I still think that this matter should be thoroughly investigated. If it is really found that it was Fourth Brother who did it, your punishment for him will be convincing to the public."

He thought that Emperor Wu Ren had already made up his mind to execute Chu Hengzhi, so he wanted to leave behind a reputation as a loving brother.

But he never expected that after hearing his words, Emperor Wu Ren said directly: "Okay, I will hand this matter over to you and the third brother to investigate. I will give you three days. If you still can't find out the truth after three days, I will punish you as well!"

After these words were spoken, the prince's face turned ugly. Why didn't his father play by the rules today?

Chu Yunxiao and Chu Yunyang's faces also became extremely ugly. The prince was really idle and had nothing to do but to cause trouble for himself.

Chu Hengzhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he had escaped today's disaster.

"Father, this matter..." Chu Yunxiao wanted to say something, but Emperor Wu Ren spoke before him: "Alright, all of you can leave."

After hearing what he said, Chu Yunxiao didn't dare to say anything else. Following Chu Hengzhi and the prince, Chu Yunyang bowed to Emperor Wu Ren and then retreated.

After leaving the imperial study.

The prince looked at Chu Hengzhi and said with a fake smile: "Fourth brother, don't worry, I will definitely investigate this matter and clear your name."

Chu Hengzhi looked at him and said with a smile: "Thank you very much, Prince."

After saying that, he glanced at Chu Yunxiao and thought, "And Third Brother, I'm sorry to bother you too."

Chu Yunxiao's eyes darkened, but he smiled and said, "Don't worry, the prince and I will definitely investigate this matter and clear your name."

Chu Hengzhi nodded and was about to say something, but Chu Yunyang sneered and said, "The tattoo has already explained everything. What else is there to check?"

"Old Five." The prince said with a serious face, "We are all brothers, don't talk nonsense."

Chu Yunyang glanced at Chu Hengzhi and Chu Yunxiao, and said in a cold voice: "Royal brother, you treat them as brothers, but they may not treat you as a brother. They may even want to get rid of you as soon as possible."

Chu Hengzhi just glanced at Chu Yunyang indifferently without saying anything. To him, Chu Yunyang was just a puppet under the prince.

Chu Yunxiao frowned in displeasure and said, "Old Fifth, what do you mean by that? Who wants to get rid of the Crown Prince as soon as possible?"

Chu Yunyang snorted coldly and wanted to say something, but the prince spoke first: "Okay, we are brothers, so stop arguing. Third brother, let's plan where to start the investigation."

Chu Yunxiao glanced at him and said, "I think we should just do a self-examination."

After saying this, he bowed to the prince and walked quickly in one direction.

The prince narrowed his eyes dangerously, but said nothing.

Seeing this, Chu Hengzhi also bowed to the prince and said, "I'll trouble you with this matter, Prince."

The prince smiled and nodded, and his expression turned cold only after his figure disappeared from sight.

Chu Yunyang looked at him in confusion: "Brother, if you hadn't spoken for him just now, Father might have executed him. Why did you speak for him?"

The prince tightened his hands in his sleeves. He also regretted speaking for Chu Hengzhi just now, but he would not show it in front of Chu Yunyang.

So, he straightened his face and said, "Since my father has already decided to kill him, let him live a few more days."

After hearing what he said, Chu Yunyang didn't say anything else, but he still felt that the prince shouldn't have spoken for Chu Hengzhi just now.

On the way out of the palace, Chu Hengzhi looked at the heart-shaped jade in his hand, and his grip unconsciously tightened.

Mother, you saved my child again.

Just as he put the Heart-shaped Jade into his arms, a eunuch deliberately bumped into him, stuffed something into his arms, and quickly knelt down and begged for mercy.

"Your Highness, please spare my life. Your Highness, please spare my life."

Chu Hengzhi frowned slightly and waved his hand, saying, "It's okay, go and get busy."

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your mercy." The eunuch kowtowed to him, then stood up and left quickly.

Chu Hengzhi didn't care and quickened his pace to leave the palace. He had to think of a solution to this problem as soon as possible.

Otherwise, even if he smashed the heart-shaped jade left by his mother in three days, that person would not be merciful.

After the eunuch walked a few steps, he looked back at Chu Hengzhi. Seeing that he had quickened his pace, a strange emotion flashed in his eyes.

Then, he continued to do his own thing as if nothing had happened.

……

into the night.

Hua Shu was not surprised when she learned that Wu Ren went to Yun Cairen.

After all, no one would be able to resist meeting their childhood sweetheart again.

After thinking about it, she couldn't help laughing. Then she was about to get up, but she didn't expect that there was a man in black in the room.

When the man in black saw her, he subconsciously turned around and wanted to leave, but Hua Shu called out first.

"Cousin, is that you?"
